While we don't have a launch date, we know it's REAL SOON. We have updated the FAQ. You will find it interesting. (For instance, the question "will we keep our rankings?" has come up repeatedly on the forums, and it's answered there. And has been for months . . .)

The FAQ also includes a link to the new subscription page (even though subscriptions are not live yet), and THAT page will answer some frequent questions, too.

It's been a long road, but we can see the end. Thanks for staying with us!

The sjgames network died a little after 6pm on Christmas day - of course on the day that our sysadmin was out of town. Yesterday's Omega tick DID run, but we've cancelled the tick for tonight. Ticks will resume as normal tomorrow night.

You can now uncancel a cancelled order in your production queue, any time before the next tick. After you cancel the order, you'll notice a new icon () in the "Orders" column of the world's production queue. Click the icon to restore the cancelled order to your queue.

The Acutron is pleased to announce the appointment of Commander River, known to the world at large as Adam Diran, as UltraCorps Admin. He will assume his duties immediately, though he won't really be able to hit his stride until the game officially launches. But that won't be long now. The next news posting you see will be from River . . .
